Sun Oven Testimonial

Love my All American Sun Oven I use it often. I’ve made quick breads, yeast breads, biscuits and all turned out great. I make rice in it, serve a third and freeze the rest for later. If you can make it in a crockpot, you can make it in the sun oven. Doesn’t do a great job with conventional pie crust. Graham cracker and cookie crusts work fine. Hubby built me a table from wood scraps with a sort of lazy Susan so I can easily turn the oven. I use a couple of heavy bricks to hold the “T” shaped adjustment bar in place should the wind come up. I don’t use the sun oven on really windy days. I hurt my shoulder a year ago. I just can’t haul the sun oven back and forth anymore. I let it stay outside on its table covered with a heavy tarp. I have it closed when not in use. This has worked well so far. I’d really like some sort of box to set over it. That tarp won’t last forever. I feel so smug when I don’t have to use electricity or gas for cooking.
